The next Lord of the Rings movie has been delayed. The animated film, The War of the Rohirrim, is shifting from April 12, 2024 to December 13, 2024, according to Deadline. That’s a delay of about eight months.
Warner Bros., whose New Line division is behind the movie, made the announcement as part of a wider briefing on new dates for its upcoming films. Dune: Part II has been delayed out of 2023 and into 2024, while Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire has been pushed back to April 2024.
With its new date, and assuming everything holds, The War of the Rohirrim, will debut on the same day as the new Karate Kid reboot from Sony.
